Practical help
We provide practical help to victims in the aftermath of crime
Being a victim of crime can lead to all kinds of practical problems. This can range from minor issues through to serious medical problems or the loss of your home. While emotional support can help you to deal with your feelings after a crime, practical problems often act as reminders of what you’ve been through and make it harder to get your life back under control.
That’s why we also offer help with sorting out the practical implications of crime.
We can help with tasks like filling out forms, and if your case goes to court, our Witness Service can help with your needs assessment, and arrange a familiarisation visit to the court, explain the process and talk you through what might happen. We’ll give you the information you need to understand your options and next steps.
If you need specialist help that we don’t think we can provide ourselves, we can help connect you with other agencies to get the support you need. We work closely with a wide range of charities and other organisations that have the expertise to help you with many of the problems caused by crime.
